“The walk included an interesting variety of landscapes. It was well laid out and the distances walked each day were good.”

Dr Matthews, UK

“Stunning scenery, wonderful accommodation, magnificent breakfasts, kind and generous hosts and best of all, the weather - rain, hail, snow, wind and perfect sunshine! Everything was above and beyond our expectation.”

Mr Trembath, Australia

“Varied landscape easy to follow route with way markers. Crossing to Holy Island a highlight.”

Dr Mansfield, UK

“Beautiful and varied scenery - from riverside and woodland walks, alongside and through fields, hills and moors, and of course across the sands to Lindisfarne. Walks about the right length for us. Inns good and baggage transfer flawless.”

Mr Minot, USA

“It was absolutely wonderful - a beautiful walk, very peaceful with a wonderful range of scenery, not too difficult and great accommodation, all of a high standard.”

Ms Huffington, UK

“We were very lucky with the weather, didn't need any of the wet weather gear we had packed. So grateful that it was carried from place to place efficiently for us. The most memorable part was walking the 4km across the Pilgrims' causeway before the tide rose. The whole route was gently undulating and varied, and on hot days walking through deciduous woods provided welcome shade. It appears this is not a well-known route and there were few other walkers. We were glad to avoid crowds. We're grateful to Contours for making the bookings at short notice and finding accommodation for us.”

Dr Moss, UK

“It was beautiful countryside, we had good weather and the places we stayed were very comfortable and friendly.”

Ms Hunt, UK

“St. Cuthbert's Way was, though incredibly challenging, a magnificent path to follow, especially the last day, walking across the sand and mud to Holy Isle. MOST of the accommodations were good, and we were absolutely DELIGHTED by the cab drivers. I never would have thought that cab drivers would be a highlight of the experience, but they were. The luggage transfers were flawless, which was so helpful. The Allerton House and the Lindisfarne on Holy Isle were superb lodgings. Like any such experience, there were ups and downs, but overall it was a great experience.”

Ms Kleeman, USA

“We loved the holiday. The walking is stunning and everything worked smoothly, so thank you.”
